ok if you godown next week, you will be inducted in a group and put through some drills to get you used to riding close and next to people,
bring your own bike, i think conversions are fine but brakes have to come off and yes lids are needed to.
Also it may be worth changing your gear ratio to something in the high 70's or low 80's as i found out....69inches is impossible to keep up with! oh and drops are needed too. although i dont know if 'horned' bars are ok....
jeans are fine but you will be amazed at the difference wearing lycra makes, and it makes you areodynamic...
hope this helps and will see you there!
